JOINT STATEMENT OF FACTS
In connection with the filing of their initial dispositive
motions on December 22, 2006, and pursuant to Case
Management Order 14, dated November 9, 2006, the
parties hereby stipulate to the following undisputed
material facts:1
1. Delaware traces her title to that portion of the
Delaware River and its bed encompassed by a circle of
twelve miles from the town of New Castle, Delaware, to
the low water mark on the eastern shore thereof (the
“twelvemile circle”) through deeds going back to 1682.
2. From its earliest years as a State, and prior to the
decision of the United States Supreme Court in New
Jersey v. Delaware II , 291 U.S. 361 (1934), New Jersey
claimed that, as a result of the American Revolution, that
portion of the Delaware River lying between the thalweg
of the Delaware River and the high water mark on the
easterly shore within the twelvemile circle became and
remained vested in fee simple in New Jersey.
3. Salem County, New Jersey, Gloucester County,
New Jersey, and New Castle County, Delaware, have
boundaries that extend to the mean low water line on the
easterly side of the Delaware River within the twelvemile
circle.
1To the extent that statements herein summarize documents in
the record, the documents themselves are the best evidence of their
contents. This Joint Statement does not reflect the relative materiality
of any specific fact stated herein as compared with facts not included.
Nor does the Joint Statement address whether any act described here
was done with or without legal authority.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/us-supreme-court-orig134specmasterapp 16/170

that it would be unlawful for any person not a citizen of

the States as Delaware had submitted, without affecting
New Jersey’s other claims or jurisdiction, and subject to
confirmation by the respective legislatures of the States
and Congress.
28. By act adopted on April 8, 1873, Delaware
authorized its commissioners to make such a compromise
as would secure to the people of Delaware and New Jersey
the mutual right of fishery in the Delaware Bay and in the
Delaware River within the twelvemile circle.
29. The commissioners appointed by Delaware and
New Jersey in 1873 held conferences and exchanged
communications in 1873 and 1874, but their efforts toreach a settlement failed.

entitled to an equal interest and concurrent jurisdictionwith Delaware.
31. On March 26, 1877, the Supreme Court granted
an injunction restraining Delaware from imposing any
license or fee upon any citizen or resident of New Jersey as
a condition of fishing in the Delaware River, and from
arresting or fining any citizen or resident of New Jersey

tidelands grant to Daniel H. Kent of Wilmington, Dela-
ware, which by its terms includes submerged lands. By its

line established by the Riparian Commissioners in the
Delaware River and Salem Cove in 1877, and is described

dant, in the Supreme Court of the United States.” 22 Del.

Chambers Works facility in Pennsville Township, New
Jersey, into the Delaware River.
132. On July 28, 1987, Delaware entered into a ten
year subaqueous lands lease allowing the Columbia Gas
Transmission Corp. to construct a submerged natural gas
pipeline across the Delaware River within the twelvemilecircle. The lease also allowed Columbia Gas to dredge 552
cubic yards of material from subaqueous lands within the
twelvemile circle. This lease was renewed on January 8,
1998.
133. On August 3, 1987, Delaware entered into a
tenyear subaqueous lands lease allowing the Colonial
Pipeline Company to construct a 30 inch submerged
petroleum pipeline across the Delaware River within the

134. On July 13, 1990, Keystone Cogeneration
Systems Inc., currently known as the Logan Generating
Company, applied to Delaware’s Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental Control (“DNREC”) for a
status decision relating to its proposal to build a 200
megawatt coalfueled cogeneration facility in Logan
Township, New Jersey, including a 1,100 pier extending
from the New Jersey shore into Delaware territory within
the twelvemile circle. In a status decision dated Novem-
ber 19, 1990, DNREC determined that the Keystoneproject did not constitute a prohibited bulk product trans-
fer facility under the DZCA and that a permit under the
DCZA was required. DNREC issued a coastal zone permit
to Keystone on December 13, 1991.

135. On September 30, 1991, DNREC issued a
subaqueous lands lease by its terms permitting the con-
struction of the coal unloading pier and permitting the
dredging of 40,000 cubic yards of material from the Dela-

Delaware issued additional approvals for the Keystone
facility to allow for a modification of pier dimensions. On
March 15, 1995, Delaware issued a letter of authorization
for a one year extension of the subaqueous lands permit
issued on September 30, 1991, and provided permission to
dredge an additional 13,750 cubic yards of material within
the twelvemile circle. On November 12, 1997, Delaware
issued a letter of authorization for maintenance dredging
at the facility. On November 9, 2001, Delaware issued a
renewal to maintain a pier, docks and dolphins at the
facility.
136. On September 24, 1991, NJDEP issued to
Keystone Cogeneration Systems Inc. in Logan Township,
New Jersey, stream encroachment, waterfront develop-
ment and freshwater wetlands permits and a Water
Quality Certificate, for a coal unloading facility and a
1600foot approachway pier.
137. On June 12, 1992, New Jersey issued a lease to
Keystone Urban Renewal Limited Partnership (the June
12, 1992 lease), by its terms covering property outshore of
what is now known as Block 101, Lots 2 and 5, Logan
Township, Gloucester County and outshore of part of the
property covered by the October 14, 1957 Grant to the Sun
Oil Company. By its terms, the property covered by the
June 12, 1992 lease extends approximately 1,600 feet

138. In September 1995, NJDEP Division of Parks
and Forestry applied to DNREC for a subaqueous land
lease to permit New Jersey to rehabilitate a pier and
construct a new floating ferry dock on Delaware subaque-
ous soil within the twelvemile circle near Fort Mott State
Park in Pennsville Township, New Jersey. On February 7,

front development permit to NJDEP’s Division of Parks
and Forestry for the rehabilitation of the historic pier at
Fort Mott State Park in Pennsville Township, and other
work specified in the permit.
140. In 1996 NJDEP issued and renewed in 2005 a
water allocation permit for the Keystone Cogeneration
Systems, Inc. facility located in Logan Township. Thewater allocation permit allows the facility to withdraw up
to 108.5 million gallons of water per month from the
Delaware River through an intake structure located
beyond the low water line, within the twelvemile circle,
that extends approximately 1,600 feet into the Delaware
River.
141. On December 9, 1997, Delaware entered into a
tenyear subaqueous land lease allowing Delmarva Power
and Light Company to install 3,755 linear feet of subma-
rine fiber optic cable in the Delaware River within thetwelvemile circle extending from Pigeon Point in New
Castle County, Delaware, to Deepwater Point in New
Jersey. This lease was amended on March 11, 2002.

143. There is a lease to William G. Bergmann, et al.,
by the State of New Jersey initially dated January 11,
1999, and renewed February 13, 2002 (the January 11,
1999 lease). By the terms of the lease, the property cov-
ered by the January 11, 1999 lease extends 35 feet water
ward of the high water line, and is located offshore of what
is now known as Block 1601, Lot 25, on North River Drive
in the Township of Pennsville.
144. There is a lease to the Township of Pennsville
by the State of New Jersey dated April 25, 2000 (the April
25, 2000 lease), by its terms covering property outshore of
Block 3428, part of Lot 1, Township of Pennsville, at the
foot of Dartmouth Road, that extends 95 feet offshore of
the existing bulkhead and mean high water line (1999).
145. On January 24, 2001, New Jersey granted an
Assignment of Management Rights (lease) to the NewJersey Division of Parks and Forestry (the January 24,
2001 lease), covering property offshore of Block 5301, Lot

ville Township a waterfront development permit for
installation of stormwater force main pipes, which were113 feet long.
147. On May 4, 2001, Delaware issued a subaqueous
lands permit to DuPont Chambers Works located near
Deepwater, New Jersey, by its terms allowing DuPont to
dredge approximately 4,650 cubic yards of material from
the Delaware River within the twelvemile circle, to backfill

existing elevations on a 0.71 acre site in the Delaware
River, and to install a temporary sheet pile wall surround-
ing the proposed excavation in the Delaware River.
148. On May 10, 2005, the Delaware Wetlands and
Subaqueous Lands Section issued a twentyyear subaque-
ous lands lease and a water quality certification to Fenwick Commons, LLC (“Fenwick”) in connection with a
project to rehabilitate a dilapidated pier at the end of west
main street in Penns Grove, New Jersey. By its terms, the
lease permits Fenwick to construct a 40 foot wide by 750
foot long pier, a 6 foot wide by 95 foot long aluminum
gangway, a 28 foot wide by 120 foot long floating dock and
breakwater, 6 support pilings, 1,255 linear feet of steel
bulkhead and permission to fill 1,882 square feet of public
subaqueous lands near Penns Grove, New Jersey. On May
6, 2005, counsel for Fenwick wrote to DNREC stating that
“the issue as to the ownership of lands is in dispute as tothe Riparian Grants from the State of New Jersey.”
149. On August 10, 2006, the New Jersey State Park
Service applied to Delaware to renew its subaqueous lands
lease for the Fort Mott pier. On December 19, 2006, a New
Jersey official wrote to DNREC that the Park Service’s
lease application was “without prejudice” to New Jersey’s
position in this lawsuit.
150. On September 27, 2004, British Petroleum
(“BP”), through its wholly owned indirect subsidiary, Crown
Landing, LLC, requested permission from NREC’s Wet-
lands and Subaqueous Lands Section to drill geotechnical
test borings in the Delaware River in connection with a
proposal to construct a liquefied natural gas (“LNG”)
terminal on the Delaware River. The proposed facility is
commonly referred to as the “Crown Landing project” or
“Crown Landing facility.”

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/us-supreme-court-orig134specmasterapp 42/170
C32
151. BP’s proposed Crown Landing facility would
include an LNG plant, storage facility, as well as other
structures in New Jersey and a pier and related structures
that extend into Delaware within the twelvemile circle.
152. The portion of BP’s proposed Crown Landing
facility located in Delaware would include an LNG trans-fer system installed on the unloading platform to transfer
the LNG from the ship to three 150,000cubicmeter
storage tanks located in New Jersey.
153. BP’s proposed Crown Landing facility would
require the dredging of 1.24 million cubic yards of
subaqueous soil, which would disturb approximately 29
acres of the bed of the river within Delaware territory.
154. On December 7, 2004, BP, through its wholly
owned indirect subsidiary, Crown Landing, LLC, applied
to DNREC for a status determination under the DelawareCoastal Zone Act for the proposed Crown Landing project.
155. On January 7, 2005, BP filed a Waterfront
Development Application with the NJDEP’s Office of
Dredging and Sediment Technology.
156. On February 3, 2005, DNREC issued a status
decision determining that BP’s proposed project was a
prohibited “offshore bulk transfer facility” as well as a
prohibited “heavy industry use” under the Delaware
Coastal Zone Act.
157. On February 15, 2005, BP filed an administra-
tive appeal to the Delaware Coastal Zone Industrial Board
(“CZICB”).
158. On April 14, 2005, the CZICB affirmed DNREC’s
status decision determining that BP’s Crown Landing

project was a bulk product transfer facility prohibited under
the DCZA. BP did not appeal that decision.
159. On July 28, 2005, New Jersey filed in the
Supreme Court a Motion to Reopen and for Supplemental
Decree in No. 11, Original, accompanied by a petition and
brief in support thereof.
160. By order dated November 28, 2005, the Court
denied New Jersey’s Motion to Reopen and directed that
the petition filed therewith be treated as a Bill of Com-
plaint in No. 134, Original, which the parties refer to as
New Jersey v. Delaware III .

OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL MASTER
ORDER ON NEW JERSEY’S MOTION TO STRIKE DELAWARE’S PROPOSED ISSUES OF FACT NOS. 1, 2, 6, 8 AND 9 AND TO PRECLUDE
DISCOVERY ON THOSE ISSUES
June 13, 2006
ORDER
Upon consideration of New Jersey’s Motion to Strike
Delaware’s Issues of Fact Nos. 1, 2, 6, 8 and 9 and to
Preclude Discovery on These Issues, Delaware’s Opposi-
tion thereto, and New Jersey’s Reply, and after oral argu-
ment held on June 7, 2006, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
8/14/2019 US Supreme Court: Orig134SpecMasterApp
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/us-supreme-court-orig134specmasterapp 45/170
D2
1. Delaware’s Proposed Issue of Fact No. 1: New
Jersey’s motion to strike is granted.
Delaware asserts as a relevant factual issue, and
seeks discovery concerning, any projects other than the
Crown Landing LNG facility that “are under consideration
or pending for approval in New Jersey within the twelvemile circle and implicate Article VII or VIII” of the Com-
pact of 1905.
To the extent the Compact is found to be ambiguous, it
may be appropriate to look to extrinsic evidence of the
States’ intentions and course of conduct. But, as Delaware
itself has recognized, information concerning other pro-
posed projects that might be in the development pipeline –
but that have not been approved or for which approval has
not been sought in either state – cannot be useful in
clarifying any ambiguity in the meaning of the grant of riparian jurisdiction to the states contained in the Com-
pact. (See Def. Opp. to Motion to Strike Issues of Fact at
21.)
Delaware apparently seeks to have the Court render
an opinion on whether any manner of speculative devel-
opment that could conceivably be proposed in the future
on New Jersey’s shore within the twelvemile circle would
fall within the scope of the Compact’s reservation of
riparian jurisdiction. But whether private parties someday
might propose “casinos, restaurants, heliports, amusementparks, or adult entertainment” on the New Jersey side of
the Delaware River, whether such projects might be
permitted by New Jersey under its applicable laws and
regulations, and whether Delaware itself might assert
jurisdiction to regulate such proposed projects under state
law are all abstract, hypothetical questions. What the
8/14/2019 US Supreme Court: Orig134SpecMasterApp
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/us-supreme-court-orig134specmasterapp 46/170
D3
Court is asked to do in this case is to determine the scope
and meaning of the language of the Compact framed
against the backdrop of a particular project, the Crown
Landing LNG facility, over which Delaware has asserted
jurisdiction and for which Delaware has declined to issue
permits under Delaware law. As discussed below, the scope
and particulars of that project, which brought the dispute
between the states to a head, are potentially relevant in
analyzing the meaning of the Compact. But, evidence of
any possible but yet unrealized future proposals could not
be relevant to the legal issue that the Court has to resolve.
2. Delaware’s Proposed Issue of Fact No. 2: New
Jersey’s motion to strike is granted.
Delaware has asserted as a relevant factual issue, and
seeks discovery concerning, the “relationship of BP’s
commercial interests in obtaining regulatory approval of the Crown Landing project to New Jersey’s decision to
bring this action.” By granting New Jersey leave to file its
Bill of Complaint, the Court has already – at least implic-
itly – determined that New Jersey is a real party in
interest and that the Court does have jurisdiction over this
dispute.
That implicit holding is reinforced by the fact that, in
response to New Jersey’s attempt to obtain permission to
file a Petition to Reopen No. 11, Original, Delaware argued
that the Court “lacks jurisdiction over this dispute, whichin reality is between BP and Delaware, not two states.”
(Def. Opp. to Mot. to Reopen & for Supp. Decree at 21.)
Thus, the Court must have considered the matter in
deciding to grant New Jersey leave to file its Bill of Com-
plaint. In light of that determination and in the absence of
any instruction from the Court to reconsider Delaware’s
8/14/2019 US Supreme Court: Orig134SpecMasterApp
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/us-supreme-court-orig134specmasterapp 47/170
D4
jurisdictional arguments, it is inappropriate for the Spe-
cial Master to reconsider the Court’s implicit ruling that
BP’s role in urging or assisting New Jersey in the pursuit
of this action is insufficient to defeat the Court’s original
jurisdiction.
Apart from the Court’s implicit ruling, it is clear inany event that New Jersey is a real party in interest –
even assuming the level of involvement by BP that Dela-
ware suggests. New Jersey seeks to enforce its sovereign
rights to whatever riparian jurisdiction is reserved to it
under the Compact. The possibility that BP might benefit
from a ruling in New Jersey’s favor does not eliminate
New Jersey’s own independent interest in pursuing this
original action against a sister state. Even the assumption
– or the fact – that BP is funding New Jersey’s litigation
costs, providing tactical litigation support, operating under
a “common interest” agreement and otherwise attempting
to persuade or even goad New Jersey into filing and
pursuing this action, could not negate New Jersey’s own
interest in enforcing its sovereign interests under the
Compact.
Delaware recognizes in its brief that “the relief New
Jersey seeks goes well beyond BP’s project.” (Def. Opp. to
Mot. to Strike Issues of Fact at 21.) That does indeed
appear to be the case, in that New Jersey is seeking
resolution of a longdisputed question of interpretation of
the Compact that, although implicated most recently by
the Crown Landing facility, extends beyond any single
project. It is apparent that New Jersey does have a legiti-
mate interest in this dispute and is a real party in inter-
est. Accordingly, discovery into the relationship between
BP’s commercial interests in obtaining regulatory approval
of the Crown Landing project to New Jersey’s decision to
8/14/2019 US Supreme Court: Orig134SpecMasterApp
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/us-supreme-court-orig134specmasterapp 48/170
D5
bring this action cannot lead to the production of admissi-
ble evidence bearing on the central issue in dispute in this1
case.
3. Delaware’s Proposed Issue of Fact No. 6: New
Jersey’s motion to strike is denied.
Delaware has identified as a factual issue, and seeks
discovery related to, whether “other projects previously
approved by New Jersey within the twelvemile circle
required the dredging of Delaware’s submerged land,” and
if so whether “the dredging has been on a scale commensu-
rate with BP’s Crown Landing project.” As discussed above,
to the extent the Compact is found to be ambiguous, inter-
pretation of the meaning of the wording of the Compact
1Because the Special Master has determined that discovery into
the relationship between BP and New Jersey in causing the latter to
bring this suit is inappropriate for the reasons stated above, it is
unnecessary to resolve New Jersey’s other bases for precluding discov-
ery into the role BP might have played in New Jersey’s decision to bring
this action. (See Pl. Mot. to Strike Issues of Fact at 1921; Pl. Reply in
Supp. Mot. to Strike Issues of Fact at 11, 1617.) Delaware also posits
that it is “entitled to discovery on whether an alternative site for BP’s
LNG facility exists that would not necessitate encroachment on
Delaware’s soil.” (Def. Opp. to Motion to Strike Issues of Fact at 10.) It
is unclear how that relates to the Court’s jurisdiction. This is an
original jurisdiction action involving a dispute over the states’ sover-
eignty and riparian rights on New Jersey’s side of the Delaware River
within the twelvemile circle. The Court is not asked to evaluate themerits of the proposed LNG facility or its overall compatibility with
state law. Thus, information regarding alternative locations within New
Jersey for an LNG facility will not assist in determining the meaning of
the Compact. The Court must resolve whether New Jersey or Delaware
or conceivably both has/have jurisdiction under the Compact to regulate
facilities such as the proposed LNG facility within the twelvemile circle
– not anywhere else within New Jersey’s borders where such a facility
might be constructed.
8/14/2019 US Supreme Court: Orig134SpecMasterApp
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/us-supreme-court-orig134specmasterapp 49/170
D6
might entail a review of the parties’ course of conduct in
the 101 years since the Compact’s ratification.
New Jersey now concedes that it “does not object to
this issue, to the extent it contemplates discovery concern-
ing other projects previously approved by New Jersey
within the TwelveMile Circle that have involved dredg-ing.” (Pl. Reply in Supp. of Mot. to Strike Issues of Fact at
18.) As New Jersey now agrees, “such projects are part of
the States’ course of performance under the 1905 Com-
pact.” ( Id.)
New Jersey’s only apparent remaining objection is
that the Crown Landing project “is the subject of volumi-
nous public filings containing detailed information on the
scope and status of the project,” so Delaware should look
there for information. ( Id. at 19.) However, the fact that
many documents concerning the Crown Landing projectmight be available from public sources has no bearing on
whether responsive documents concerning other projects –
which is the subject of Delaware’s Issue of Fact No. 6 – are
readily available from public sources. New Jersey has not
identified any such public repository from which Delaware
could easily obtain such files. Thus, as New Jersey essen-
tially concedes, because Delaware’s Issue of Fact No. 6 is
relevant, discovery should be permitted.
4. Delaware’s Proposed Issue of Fact No. 8: New
Jersey’s motion to strike is denied.
Delaware seeks discovery regarding “the nature and
scope of BP’s Crown Landing liquefied natural gas unload-
ing facility.” Under Delaware’s apparent theory of the case,
for New Jersey to prevail, it will have to provenot only that, in the 1905 Compact, Delaware
8/14/2019 US Supreme Court: Orig134SpecMasterApp

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/us-supreme-court-orig134specmasterapp 51/170
D8
least a significant portion of the documents related to the
Crown Landing project, the Order below sets forth the
approach that the states are to follow. The Special Master
assumes that the states will continue to work together
cooperatively in this regard, as they have to date in this
litigation, to avoid disputes in following the approach set
forth in this Order.
6. Delaware’s Proposed Issue of Fact No. 9: New
Jersey’s motion to strike is granted.
Delaware seeks discovery pertaining to whether BP
has “obtained all necessary New Jersey government
permits for the Crown Landing project,” in order to deter-
mine “whether the case is ripe and, therefore, whether this
Court has jurisdiction over the dispute.” (Def. Opp. to
Motion to Strike Issues of Fact at 25.)
New Jersey has alleged in response that, because
Delaware has asserted jurisdiction over the BP project and
has declined to permit BP to conduct sediment sampling
from the Delaware River that is necessary for permitting
under New Jersey’s regulations, New Jersey is unable to
complete any review of the BP proposal as a result of
Delaware’s actions. Under Delaware’s theory, then, New
Jersey’s claim would never fully ripen as a result of Dela-
ware’s assertion of jurisdiction over the BP project. Under
those circumstances, the matter is ripe for review in this
original action.
In addition, for the reasons set forth in Section 2
above, New Jersey itself is a real party in interest by
virtue of its claim that Delaware inappropriately is at-
tempting to regulate matters on New Jersey’s shores.
Thus, discovery concerning whether BP has already
obtained permits from New Jersey for the development of
8/14/2019 US Supreme Court: Orig134SpecMasterApp
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/us-supreme-court-orig134specmasterapp 52/170
D9
the Crown Landing facility cannot lead to the production
of admissible evidence relevant to the issues involved in
this original action.
CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, after full consideration of
the states’ written submissions and following oral argu-
ment by counsel, it is hereby ORDERED that:
New Jersey’s Motion to Strike Delaware’s Proposed
Issues of Fact Nos. 1, 2, 6, 8 and 9 and to Preclude Discov-
ery on These Issues is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED
IN PART, as follows:
The Motion is GRANTED as to Delaware’s Issues of
Fact Nos. 1, 2 and 9;
The Motion is DENIED as to Delaware’s Issues of
Fact Nos. 6 and 8; and
With respect to Delaware’s Issue of Fact No. 8: Dela-
ware shall first attempt to obtain the documents it seeks
from public sources. New Jersey shall help Delaware in
identifying the locations of such public documents, to the
extent Delaware is not already aware of such filings. Once
Delaware has obtained the requested documents from
public sources, it will then be entitled to obtain from New
Jersey any remaining requested documents that are not
publicly available and that reasonably bear on this issue.
